“My work is in response to my past which was filled with trauma and addiction. I use my work therapeutically both as a meditative process and also to give meaning to my pain. Connecting with others through shared experience is the intent of my work and the reason I do it. Trauma isolates, art unites.” - Annie Murphy-Robinson
